Given zoladex via implant every 30 days for 6 months for endemetriosis in The pouch of Douglas. Periods stopped for all that time but have just returned with a vengeance!!! When I saw my consultant two months ago he told me that the ovaries would be well and truly dead/shrunk and will not work again - so what has happened??? Help!!!

Hi, I was having terrible left lower side abdominal pain which I put down to my ovaries after much elimination. I had had a hysterectomy the year before and that was the only thing I could think of in that area. I was given Zoladex on a one off injection which was to last 3 months. I presumed it worked as I was having terrible night sweats. The pain subsided a little so I thought it must be that ovary. I went in to surgery to have it removed and the DR told me that the Zoladex had not worked completely. So I do not believe that with out having a good direct look at the ovary that any Dr could actually say that they r completely shut down. All the best, chin up!! Alison
